India and Pakistan's Kashmir dispute: What you need to know
Bollywood films pulled
The latest flashpoint has unleashed a torrent of fury on social media and impassioned news coverage from both sides of the border.
On Thursday, The Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) asked that all Pakistani artists refrain from working on film projects in India.
Meanwhile, Bollywood films were being pulled in Pakistan. Nadeem Mandviwalla, owner of Mandviwalla Entertainment and shareholder in the largest cinema chain in Pakistan, told CNN that his theaters would temporarily pull all Indian films "until normalcy of relations between the two countries."
Nueplex Cinemas also joined the ban.
'Credible information'
Indian Lieutenant General Ranbir Singh told reporters on Thursday the strikes had been based on "specific credible information" that militants were planning to carry out strikes in Indian cities, including Jammu.
Why is India's Modi going on the offensive?
"The operations were basically focused to ensure that these terrorists do not succeed in their design of infiltration and carrying out destruction and endangering the lives of citizens in our country," he said.
However, Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the attack in a statement, calling it
"unprovoked and naked aggression" of Indian forces.

He said Pakistan's forces were capable of defending their territory and would stop any "evil design" against their country. "No external force has the capability or capacity to challenge the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan," he said.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said India's claims to have carried out surgical strikes were "baseless" and accusing India of "deliberately" escalating tensions.
Could India and Pakistan go to war?
The incident came less than two weeks after 18 Indian soldiers were killed in an attack by armed militants on an army base in Uri, about 63 miles (102 kilometers) from Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. A nineteenth soldier was confirmed to have died Friday.
Army base attack leaves 17 Indian soldiers dead 03:52
It was one of the deadliest attacks to take place on an army base in Kashmir since militant attacks began in the late 1980s, and sparked a furious war of words between India and Pakistan.
Long disputed territory
Kashmir, a Muslim-majority region, has been disputed territory between India and Pakistan for the past 70 years.
Both of the nuclear-armed countries hold separate parts of it and have fought two wars, in 1947 and 1965, over their claims. They came close to a third, in 1999.
Speaking to CNN on Thursday, a resident of Indian-administered Kashmir, Mushtaq Ahmad Chaudhary, said border residents had not forgotten the horror of having shells and bullets raining down on their communities.
"The latest developments have set in the fear and tension as the deteriorating situation may trigger cross [border] artillery duels [such as] we have witnessed during the 1990s when several villagers were killed and wounded," he said.
